Project name: Scratch Build Macross Factory and Maintenance Bai
Date Started: May 13, 2009
Estimated Date of Completion: ummm... June 15, 2009 (or erlier than that depending on how often i get bored)
Main Material: Styrene Sheet and Cardboard
Dimensions: 40" x 14" x 20"

That, launch arm, is that a full scratch build? Not a kit? I want one for my VF-1S Hikaru!!! That look sick! Great collection man!

vic01: yup everything's scratch build.. main materials used are cardboard (not the regular type) and styrene sheet and unused venetian blinds..

i've been a lurker over your gudam thread at another section.. i'm pretty sure you could build one for your valkyries


anyway.. here's my progress on my second scratch build: (sorry for the crappy pics.. will replace this with better ones as soon as i get a new set of batteries for my camera)

PARTITION 1 of MACROSS FACTORY.. about 60% complete..

work done:

- scratch building of base partition 1 Wall
- controls
- ladder
- gate 1 (fixed.. Gate 2 will be articulated and Gate 3, im thinking animating)
-




portion connecting the gantry.. still have to put up more details



upper-right portion.. with details on controls





the ladder.. errr.. the baluster's a bit crooked.. still have to fix it (wish i have steady hands)




originally planned at using LED w/ resistors for lighting.. but a friend suggested i try out other options..



test 1 - cigarette lighter's led




test 2 - using lazer thingy





thanks for looking..

will continue working on this by weekend..
